All over, i've explored most of NM, AZ, UT, some of NV. Currently heading to OR for the remainder of the fire season because i'm tired of all this wildfire smoke. At least there is some relief there with the coastal wind. I've had 700+ firefighter fires pop up within a few miles of me at times, nothing like waking up to a mountain on fire behind you.

That's crazy! Seems like that's happening in so many places around the world now

Wow, impressive Larry! I'd say I'd like a place that doesn't get overly hot and is tolerable in the winter too! Places like that exist. I read that even people in Alaska made it without electricity

It seems to me that most people want to be happy and not doomscrolling or taking drugs except that traumas, uncertainties about a good way of living, and addictions to various negative things get in the way. Is that the essential premise or am I oversimplifying?

Yes, that is a big part of the premise, but the point is to return to something that is most natural and secretly desired by the soul. People engage in harmful activities because they feel disconnected from wild nature and each other, and it has become normalized. My philosophy is to step out of living in the mind and get into living with the heart, with love. Birds do this well ;)

I have had fifty square miles and wild horses to myself at times, it has been amazing. It is a tough lifestyle but one hundred percent worth it the peace and feeling alive it brings.

That sounds really fun! What state?

Hey, everyone will be working equally but the work won't be considered something like a chore, it will be done in a balanced and fun way. Nobody will be forced to be out in the sunniest hours due to how strong our sun became. We will wake up really early and it won't be hard to do without distractions. (I already began this a few years ago)

I posted about a tech free community before, but wanted to get more specific. I wonder if there are people interested in living this way. I feel like it's very focused on the things that truly make us happy.
If someone has land and wants to create this, please let me know.

So here it is: Timeless living

Imagine waking up in the morning with the sun and not checking the time, not knowing what day it is and not having a need for it, only listening to your heart, being guided by love.

Imagine coming out of your cabin and being greeted by friendly and loving faces who wish to live in the same way as you. You notice some people playing with the animals, others are watering plants, but they all have one thing in common: they're all happy.

When the sun gets too strong, we move into the shade, get our instruments out, play, sing, and dance. There's no judgment, we all support each other in the name of love.

When it's warm enough out, we don't wear shoes, we just walk on the grass feeling free and connected to loving earth. We feel her love warming the soles of our feet.


In the evening, we sit around a fire and chat about whatever comes to mind. Again, no judgment, only love. Sometimes, we just hug.
There are no artificial lights, so we get to enjoy the most beautiful views of the night sky.

Other activities include hiking, cooking, swimming, knitting and making art.

We help each other out like a family, so there is no need for money or any kind of bartering system. We don't expect the same person that we helped to give us something in return and vice versa, we know that someone in the group would be more than happy to help us if a need arises.

This is a timeless way of life that belongs to humans. There's no self-sabotage, no vices, no electronics. There's only that which truly matters to us, only that which increases our joy and bring peace to our minds.

Hey, we could talk... I live in the Appalachian Mountains of NC and split my time at the coast. I hunt, fish, forage and garden, teach herbal medicine, play guitar music and write books for a living.

Oh interesting! I want to learn to play guitar, and I enjoy dancing. Also wrote a few books myself

Hey nature lovers! I'm a Russian gal who grew up in NYC since age one. I've been going through a major spiritual awakening for over 10 years now and realized the city is not for me in the midst of it all. I'm not religious. I'd love to meet someone who I feel happy and at home with, someone who I'm intuitively certain about. "When you know, you know" as they say.

My interests include releasing tech addiction and spending time in nature. I'd love to create a space where others can reconnect with something simple and sacred that has been slipping away.

If a lifestyle without smartphones, computers, tv, artificial lights, power lines, electricity, clocks, calendars, and vices sounds appealing to you, then let's chat!

Thank you Jaime and Tamara!

And yes, yes, I'm aware of the irony. Using technology to find people to leave technology with! Maybe if it didn't exist, we wouldn't need to create this revolution ... haha
